Sleep

[Verse 1]

After your laughter like thunder

After your skin like coffee and cream

After it takes our bodies into the night

After we've come to the extreme

[Chorus]

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Just inside your arm

I want to listen to your heartbeat

And your breathing on and on

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Surrender to your peace

And go to sleep

[Verse 2]

After we've gone a million miles

Made true our dreams with sweat and bone

After we've built it up with our bare hands

Made strong a place we can call home

[Chorus]

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Just inside your arm

I want to listen to your heartbeat

And your breathing on and on

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Surrender to your peace

And go to sleep

[Bridge]

(Sleep, go to sleep)

[Verse 3]

And when the light in my eye is fading

When running water becomes too deep

Finally angels turn my fire to dust

And when my soul's no longer mine to keep

[Chorus]

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Just inside your arm

I want to listen to your heartbeat

And your breathing on and on

I want to lay down on your shoulder

Surrender to the peace

And just go to sleep

Just go to sleep
